This does make sense. Either an extension has precedence over class methods or
it does not; having extension methods in the middle of statically defined
methods and __cal

Thanks for explaining it better than I did.
Regarding the implementation, that was roughly what I was thinking.
But can't we put extension methods second, after real methods but before
__call? As far as I understand, the reason to put it after __call is to
avoid a performance penalty on __call ca

Sorry, replying to all this time :)
I've missed to pinpoint an important fact: extensions don't add methods to
types per-say, rather they allow using them when imported. Extension's
methods would never be called if the extension isn't imported, which is
different from monkey-patching and runkit, w

I believe disallowing multiple extensions on one type defeats one of
the purposes of the feature - extending from outside. Let's say you have a
vendor package for manipulating strings which defines an extension on
`string` type. It works, but then you need one more custom extensions -

It's a fantastic feature that I've used in Rust, although there are
some differences. First, it doesn't work for regular methods -- they
have to be part of a trait. Secondly, in general a trait can only be
implemented for a given type if it is in the package which defines

The idea is to introduce extension methods, similar to those in Kotlin, C#,
Dart. For those unfamiliar, those are just regular functions with fancy
syntax. However, I think having those will not only improve readability,
but also cover some of the previously requested features.
